Jonson (Ben) [The Workes], first collected edition, lacks initial blank and engraved title, lacks all after 3S4 (ie complete up to the end of Catiline), repair to inner margin of first 2 preliminary leaves and to upper corner of llast several leaves, affecting pagination and rules at top on only last few leaves, some water-staining and damp-mottling, sometimes heavy, 18th century panelled calf, rebacked and corners repaired, by William Stansby, 1616; another copy, lacking all before B1, 4A1-2 (from The Forrest in Epigrammes) and final leaf 4Q4, with G1 (woodcut title to Every Man out of his Humour) misbound at beginning of book,a few early ink names and annotations, 2M4 torn, some soiling, later panelled calf, worn, by William Stansby, 1616; and a few other extracts and leaves from other copies of the same work, plus part of part of Masques from a later edition, and 2 reference works, folio and 8vo (8)⁂ These two partially defective copies together make up one almost complete copy of what, after Shakespeare's first folio, might be considered the single most important 17th century English dramatical work. One of the fragments also includes the missing leaves from the Epigrammes (4A1-2), therefore in essence the lot is missing only the engraved title and the final leaf, given that the initial blank is so rare as to be almost unfindable. The two copies also show different variants of some pages, notably p.406 the two readings "the readie sword" and "the facile sword"; and p.413 "By Castor" and "By Pollux" altered to "By Pollux" and "By Hercules" with an additional line inserted "That would I more...". The first copy also bears an intriguing inscription in ink to the title of Every Man in his Humour, in a hand deliberately made to look old "To Worthy friend Mr Will. Shakespeare of Ben Jonson". The find of the century were it genuine!
